Product detailed description
A true Italian stiletto, a classic knife known from films and the history of Southern Europe. For many users and enthusiasts, the stiletto is synonymous with a switchblade or automatic knife. The blade is released using a button located in the center of the handle, activating the automatic opening mechanism.
The locking mechanism is made from stainless steel or nickel silver, ensuring secure blade retention. The blade itself is crafted from AISI 420 (W.1.4034) stainless steel hardened to approximately 56 HRC, offering a balanced combination of corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of maintenance. The automatic opening system provides fast, reliable deployment with consistent performance.
Handles can be made from a wide range of materials, including colored plastics, natural horn, exotic woods, or premium options such as mother-of-pearl or abalone. In this configuration, the handle features green Micarta, providing durability and a stable grip. Liners and rivets are typically made from brass, while the internal spring is constructed from stainless steel for long-term reliability.
Each knife is hand-assembled by the Italian company Frank Beltrame, preserving traditional craftsmanship and ensuring attention to detail in every piece.
